The All-in-One Watercolor Easel System
for all your Outdoor Painting Adventures

"My intention was to create a watercolor easel that would honor the spirit of outdoor painting. This easel enables painters working in any medium to follow in the footsteps of masters like Constable, Delacroix, Corot, Sargent and Zorn, who utilized watercolor sketches as a means to travel light and gather information for their studio paintings. Whether you are exploring the back country of America, or the back roads of Europe, the "En Plein Air Pro" is the portable studio that can meet the needs of the most adventurous painter." -- Eric Michaels NWS, OPA & PSA

However, snow on the ground will, by and large, prove the exception to the rule. It is usually the brightest element in the landscape. It’s that sparkle and punchiness that makes snow scenes so much fun to paint.Read Article
